The admins will organise which games are to be played on which day of the week, and all games will start from 8pm +0800hrs GMT, unless otherwise specificed

Reschedule of matches is to be done minimum 24 hours in advance or considered as null.

Both teams would need to agree and both team captains to contact the admin in charge of your match for confirmation of changes.

If there are server problems (i.e. during festive periods like New Bloom, Diretide, or server maintenance etc.) games may be postponed to a later date, if both teams are agreeable.

The admin in charge of your match will be your direct contact for that match.

No bypassing of any information for your match without their knowledge – i.e. if you need to change timing, you will inform the admin first and confirm with the opposing team’s captain as well.

Admin’s word is final. If you are unhappy with the admin’s decision, or would like to dispute it, please bring it up with Zeph or Maya.

TEAM LINE-UPS

Only those profiles registered would be allowed to play in the lobby.

If you need to change players permanently, please inform the admins, we will accommodate up to:

If you have registered 5 or 6 players; 3 members must remain as the original players

If you have registered 7 or 8 players; 4 members must remain as the original players

Definition of a stand-in player:

A stand-in is a player who is not registered with any other team competing in the league, and has also not been registered with the team she is standing in for

We have allowed up to 8 registered members per team, hence we would like to discourage the use of stand-ins in this league.

All players, including stand-ins are to be FEMALE. Should there be a case where a player is not female, the administration may choose to disqualify the team involved.

If you require the use of a stand-in, she cannot be a player of another team that is also registered in FSL.

A maximum of 2 stand-ins can be used per team per match, and NO stand-ins will be allowed for the playoffs.

All stand-ins must tag up with a “standin.” in front of their nickname during the games that they play at all times.

PUNCTUALITY

In the previous season, we had a number of issues with punctuality of teams. This has been a serious cause of concern and we will enforce these rules strictly.

Teams should be in the lobby 15 minutes before the scheduled time.

5 minutes grace would be given after scheduled time is past and if any team members are not present by then, the team would forfeit 1 match.

They may still play the 2nd game of the series if they arrive within 30 minutes of the agreed-upon match time.

For example, games are supposed to start at 8pm. The team which is not fully in the lobby by 8.05PM will be awarded a loss for the first game. By 8.30PM, if the team is still not fully present in the lobby, they will be awarded a second loss, bringing their score for that series 0-2.

For teams who are constantly late, warnings will be given. Repeated warnings may lead to disqualification from the league.

IN-GAME BEHAVIOUR

In the event of disconnections and the player(s) is/are unable to reconnect to the game, the game may be reloaded from the most recent saved file.

If a game needs to be re-loaded, players must be in the same player slot as they were previously, and they must play the same hero that they were using previously.

In the event of a pause (or pauses), the waiting team has the right to resume after waiting for a total time of 15 minutes.

For example, if there is a pause of 5 minutes and then a subsequent pause of 10 minutes, the game may be resumed by the waiting team.

The first team to type “GG” to all chat (accidentally or not), even as part of a phrase or sentence will be deemed to have forfeit the game. Fake GGs will not be tolerated.

For example, if you call GG, which triggers the countdown timer, but you are winning, the admin will still mark your team as earning a loss.

This is due to teams previously abusing this and leading to a lot of annoyance.

Moral of the story: Don’t call GG until you are actually victorious. Wise words: Don’t lick your chops before the enemy dies.

WITHDRAWAL FROM TOURNAMENT

Teams may withdraw at any point in time during the league.

Regardless of whether any of the matches have been played, all the team’s opponents in the entire league will be awarded a walkover win.

Teams that withdraw from the tournament will not be removed from the brackets. Instead, admins will add in a “-BYE-” at the back of their team name to show that they are no longer active in the league.

ADMIN TEAM

The admin in charge of your match will make decisions – if you are unsure, kindly bring the matter up to them as soon as possible.

If you are unhappy with, or would like to dispute their decision, kindly bring it up to Zeph or Maya. Zeph will have the final say.

We will not tolerate abuse of admins; kindly remember that our admins are people who are volunteering their time to manage your matches. Do respect their time by being punctual.

The above rules are subject to change if and/or when necessary – it is your duty to check the rules from time to time.
